I'm starting to like it. Typically I don't like anime with that art because it's usually geared towards guys and I have been sadly disappointed, not to mentioned bored to death in the past.....but I have been impressed with this one, very realistic and in some way kind of gusty.

I think a lot of people can relate to this show because there is no heroic male or female figure and there is no miracle that all of a sudden makes everyone happy. It's brutally honest about how life can be and there is no apology for it. Any one of us could look at Hacihman, Yukino, and Yui and say that is EXACTLY what has happened to me. I think it's surprising for a lot of us because of the simple fact that there is no BS with this story and while we know pretty much how Hachiman is because how other animes tend to go there are still surprises that occur because this doesn't go the "typical" route.

To conclude, SNAFU is number 2 on my top 10 list. It's surprised me more than any other anime (Gargantia was my surprise after the first quarter of this season but SNAFU has surpassed it).

I dont know whats gonna happen. There is only 3 eps left and it doesn't seem like hikki is close to wanting anyone. This show isn't guaranteed a 2nd season so its very troubling. As much as i love the non-romance aspect at the end of the day its a romcom and if he doesn't pick anyone and we get no 2nd season this is gonna suck lol.

Like with Boku Wa Tomodachi. He never picked and it ended strangely for me in the second season and the likely hood of a 3rd is slim or if it even does its years away since he hasn't even started writing it yet.

I dont want to hold anything against this show. i love the story and the main character so i hope it ends well with some choice or we get a season 2 confirmation soon after.

What do you guys think?

I doubt he will choose one out of the two before the season ends, they might save it for the OVA or the second season. Based on what i have seen Yukino needs Hachiman far more than Yui does, but due to their past, she is afraid of getting close at all. As Yui said, she missed her chance to tell him she was in the car, and cant bring herself to mention it anymore. Which will always be a problem until she is able to say it.

I do wonder what Hachiman thinks about Yui, due to that girl rejecting him years ago, he doesnt trust his judgement when it comes to romance. It is pretty clear throughout the episode that he does think Yui likes him, but at the same time believes he is looking too deeply into what she is doing. Therefore, he thinks she likes him, but he also thinks he is misreading the situation. At the end of the episode, he clearly cuts her off before she can say anything, so that leaves me a little confused.

I am also curious about a few other tings. First, why is that tall building consistently in the background? When will we get to meet Yukino's parents, specially her mother. and lastly, why did Yui change from wanting Hachiman to walk her all the way home, to walking her part of the way home, after telling her mom not to do something. I wonder if there is some kind of family situation going on in there as well. We shall wait and see, Sadly, there are very few episodes left.

I like Yui more sure, but the show isn't living up to its name. He's the social outcast and pariah and hes paired with his exact double. Not much of a SNAFU. It's down right exactly the same as every other romcom outcome.

You never know, 3 episodes can make a lot of stuff happen. If they pull a shuffle that would be a nice change.

I'm not sure I agree because based on his last monologue it didn't sound like he would pick Yukino. Moreover, he realized what he was thinking and ultimately he was pissed for it. Also, he was pissed off when he saw the car Yukino's sister got in and remembered it was the one who hit him so he didn't let Yukino's sister catch on to how he was feeling. If anything, I expect Hachiman to remain distant maybe even more so to Yukino because now he wonders if the person he has known up till now is truly genuine. With Yui, idk what to expect because she's been as close to straight forward as possible with Hachiman but he has stated before he hates nice girls. So, I think it's still too soon to say it WILL BE Yukino. Just my opinion.

It's precisely because she is on his mind and he is brooding about her not telling him that he'll end up growing closer to her. He has his personality traits and he is breaking it from just 10min earlier in the episode where he reaffirmed it. Dwelling on the past is pointless yet he decides to dwell on the fact that Yukino chose not to tell him she was in the car that was responsible for his accident. Yui was in the same situation and didn't tell him until well after but he never dwelled on the fact that Yui was partly responsible for what happened. It's pretty clear he already knew in both cases before it came up via dialog.

I'd be utterly surprised if he turns cold to Yukino and it may not be set in stone but reading the situation it's hard to imagine it going anywhere else at this point unless the real SNAFU is that he does the unexpected

and hurts Yukino like her sister mentioned happens quite often to her.

I predict there will be no choice by the end of the anime. It has a bonus episode and an OVA coming at some point and the novels will not be finished yet.

But I would be happy with either Yui or Yukino and will feel bad for whomever is not chosen so in fact I will feel better, for once, with no choice. Romantic love triangles are starting to annoy me for this reason as I feel bad for the one not chosen when they don't give her a plan B or a plan C...
